A man has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Accra High Court. The sentence follows his conviction for impersonating a high-ranking official.
He was also found guilty of defrauding a businessman of GH¢100,000. The court heard evidence that he used his fake identity to trick the victim.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentence was handed down after a thorough trial. The court determined the evidence proved multiple fraud charges against the convict.
This case highlights the dangers of impersonation scams. Authorities are working to stop such criminal activities.
